  • THE PHILIPPINES, 1942-1944 James Kelly Morningstar, Doctor of History
    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: WAR AND RESISTANCE: THE PHILIPPINES, 1942-1944 James Kelly Morningstar, Doctor of History, 2018 Dissertation directed by: Professor Jon T. Sumida, History Department What happened in the Philippine Islands between the surrender of Allied forces in May 1942 and MacArthur’s return in October 1944? Existing historiography is fragmentary and incomplete. Memoirs suffer from limited points of view and personal biases. No academic study has examined the Filipino resistance with a critical and interdisciplinary approach. No comprehensive narrative has yet captured the fighting by 260,000 guerrillas in 277 units across the archipelago. This dissertation begins with the political, economic, social and cultural history of Philippine guerrilla warfare. The diverse Islands connected only through kinship networks. The Americans reluctantly held the Islands against rising Japanese imperial interests and Filipino desires for independence and social justice. World War II revealed the inadequacy of MacArthur’s plans to defend the Islands. The General tepidly prepared for guerrilla operations while Filipinos spontaneously rose in armed resistance. After his departure, the chaotic mix of guerrilla groups were left on their own to battle the Japanese and each other. While guerrilla leaders vied for local power, several obtained radios to contact MacArthur and his headquarters sent submarine-delivered agents with supplies and radios that tie these groups into a united framework. MacArthur’s promise to return kept the resistance alive and dependent on the United States. The repercussions for social revolution would be fatal but the Filipinos’ shared sacrifice revitalized national consciousness and created a sense of deserved nationhood. The guerrillas played a key role in enabling MacArthur’s return.

    1 THE PHILIPPINE JOURNAL OF SCIENCE VOL. 58 SEPTEMBER, 1935 No.1 A REVISION OF THE PHILIPPINE LORANTHACEAE By B. H. DANSER Of the Botanical Laboratory of the University, Groningen, Netherlands TWO PLATES A revision of the Philippine Loranthaceae has already twice been given, though in a more concise form, by Merrill.1 The present revision is, in many respects, only an extension of Merrill’s. New are the keys for all genera and species; the complete descriptions for all species, usually after all materials available; the distribution lists as complete as possible; and many criticisms of the nomenclature. In many points, such as the synonymy of older Philippine literature, I have had to follow Merrill blindly; also it deserves to be mentioned that the careful labeling of the material in the Bureau of Science herbarium and the clear indication of good types are Merrill’s work. I am, however, also greatly indebted to Dr. Eduardo Quisumbing, curator of the Philippine National Herbarium, Bureau of Science, for his kindness in twice sending me the Philippine Loranthaceae - once to Buitenzorg and once to Groningen. Also to the directors of other herbaria, who kindly sent me Philippine Loranthacese to be taken up in my revision, I feel very thankful. The herbaria from which material was received are here listed: B; Herbarium of the Botanic Gardens, Buitenzorg, Java. Be; Herbarium of the Botanic Garden and Museum, Berlin-Dahlem. Br; Herbarium of the Botanic Garden of the University, Breslau. G; Herbarium of the Botanical Laboratory of the University, Groningen. L; The State Herbarium, Leiden.

    Human Biology Volume 85 Issue 1 Special Issue on Revisiting the "Negrito" Article 10 Hypothesis 2013 Anthropology and GIS: Temporal and Spatial Distribution of the Philippine Negrito Groups Sabino G. Padilla Jr Department of Behavioral Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines, Manila Follow this and additional works at: http://digitalcommons.wayne.edu/humbiol Part of the Biological and Physical Anthropology Commons Recommended Citation Padilla, Sabino G. Jr (2013) "Anthropology and GIS: Temporal and Spatial Distribution of the Philippine Negrito Groups," Human Biology: Vol. 85: Iss. 1, Article 10. Available at: http://digitalcommons.wayne.edu/humbiol/vol85/iss1/10 Anthropology and GIS: Temporal and Spatial Distribution of the Philippine Negrito Groups Abstract The hiP lippine "negrito" groups comprise a diverse group of populations speaking over 30 different languages, who are spread all over the archipelago, mostly in marginal areas of Luzon Island in the north, the central Visayas islands, and Mindanao in the south. They exhibit physical characteristics that are different from more than 100 Philippine ethnolinguistic groups that are categorized as non-negritos. Given their numbers, it is not surprising that Philippine negritos make up a major category in a number of general ethnographic maps produced since the nineteenth century. Reports from various ethnological surveys during this period, however, have further enriched our understanding regarding the extent and distribution of negrito populations. Using the data contained in these reports, it is possible to plot and create a map showing the historical locations and distribution of negrito groups. Using geographic information systems (GIS), the location and distribution of negrito groups at any given time can be overlaid on historical or current maps.

Botany Vol. IV NOVEMBER, 1909 No. 5 NOTES ON PHILIPPINE ORCHIDS WITH DESCRIPTIONS OF NEW SPECIES, 1.^= By Oakes Ames. (From the Ames Botanical Laboratory, Worth Easton, Mass., U. S. A.) Tt has been suggested by Dr. Fritz Kranzliu that the species of Dcn~ drochilum which I have assigned to the section Acoridmm ought to constitute a distinct genus. Dr. Kriinzlin asserts that the form of the labellum is quite distinctive in Acoridiuin on account of its likeness to the letter E. When I studied DendrochiluDi tenclhun in the preparation of Fascicle I of ^'^Orchidaceae" I felt strongly that it belonged to a genus entirely distinct from DendrocliUum because of the absence of stelidia from the column and of the peculiar subfiliform leaves. Since then I have been convinced by a study of more material that Acoridiuin belongs to DendrocliiJum. In the first place, the E-formed labellum on which Dr. Kranzlin lays emphasis is only characteristic of a majority of the species of the section Acoridiuin and is not found in D. turpe, D. oligan- fJiun), D. ]ia.'<fatum, I).

BRIEF SITUATIONER BATAAN, “The Triumph of the Spirit,” a province reminding us of the not-so- distant past in history – old canons, Death March markers, monuments, and shrines like the Shrine of Valor in Mt. Samat are conspicuous in its environs. The landmarks serve as the destinations for local and foreign tourists. But what many people still do not know is there is much more to do in the peninsula. Bataan lies snugly in the bosom of two major mountains, Mount Natib and Mount Mariveles. About 80% Bataan is mountainous and hilly, among these two towering peaks are secondary ones such as Mount Samat, Mount Limay, Kaput Hill, Mount Malasimbu, et al, making it an ideal destination of mountaineers, mountain bikers and adventurers. Bataan is likewise a destination for those who respect the beauty and the power of the mountains. We welcome to discover her, to respect her, to be embraced by her beauty and splendour. It lends you enough reason, enough challenge to conquer yourself and your perceived limitations. Explore Bataan and submit yourselves to the Raging Peninsula experience. II. PROSPECTS FOR THE INDUSTRY Bataan will about to develop and upgrade additional tourist spots of the province with its goal to become the leading tourist destination in the Philippines. According to Bataan Tourism Council Foundation, Inc., lined-up for improvement is the Limutan Falls in Bagac and Kanawan Hanging Bridge in Binaritan, Morong.

The Western Volcanic Chains include volcanic rocks generated in the forearc and main volcanic arc regions with respect to the Manila Trench. The Eastern Volcanic Chains, on the other hand, were extruded on the back arc side. Across- and along-arc variations are present in these two volcanic chains. These variations can be attributed to the interplay of several geochemical processes that occuned in source regions that manifest island arc affinity. An adakite-tholeiiticlcalc-alkaline-adakitic rock across-arc variation is recognized in Central Luzon. INTRODUCTION Generation of andesites by lower crust melting has also been forwarded in the middle 80's The last three decades saw the introduction of (Takahashi, 1986). Implicit to this model is the new ideas, innovations to recycling of old models assumption that the lower crust is made up of related to arc magmagenesis.
